July 1, 1916 the Brits had 20,000 fatalities, most within a two hour period on the first day of the Somme battle.
I visited the Somme battlefield last April. Truly amazing the loss of life in such a short area.
I can’t imagine what those men experienced.

Shell craters still clearly visible, too! Near Ypres, there was was a single machine gun emplacement on the high ground (amongst flat farmland), and the tiny museum had the names of *thousands* of allied soldiers killed by that one emplacement over the multiple battles of Ypres. Yet, the answer was still seemingly, "go take that emplacement."
